obama, mr. vice president, honored guests, ladies and gentlemen, it's my privilege today to read selected portions of hebrew's 11. which has been called the hall of faith. i'll find i'll end with hebrew 12 versuses 1-3 and verse 14. faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see. by faith, we understand that the universe was formed at god's command so that what is seen was not made out of what was invisible. and without faith, it is impossible to please god. because anyone who comes to him must believe he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him. when warned about things not yet seen, in holy fear built an arc to save his family. by faith abraham even though he was past age and sara herself was barn was unable to become a father because he considered him faithful who had made the promise. when god tested him, offered isaac as a sacrifice. he had who had received the promises was about to sacrifice his one and only son. even though god had said to him, it

"the l.a. times" has chronicled the operation from start to finish. it turns out the idea for the first lady to appear at the oscars was hatched before the producers knew whether it would be michelle obama or ann romney. the idea was brought to the first lady's team by harvey weinstein when he attended the second inauguration. then the logistics were put in place. extra precautions that kept the whole thing under wraps. the few people who were in the know told a crew last week that they were having an emergency meeting about one of the show's musical numbers. in reality they were helping the first lady rehearse via satellite. the winner envelope was hand delivered to the white house over the weekend. so the first lady knew who was going to win, i guess. throughout the show, the producers were backstage
